Anarchists should bring back propaganda of the deed and fucking [redacted] Bomber Blinken

You know, when people say that Netanyahu was raised in the US, they really weren't kidding.

how about we, hexbear, turn the tables and draft a strongly worded letter to Mr. Hezbollah himself?

MENTION

This process of drawing political legitimization from a sacred text can lead to fanaticism with dangerous consequences. The Bible, for instance, has references to genocide: the Amalekites were killed to the last by Joshua. Today there are those, thankfully for now only a fanatical minority, who refer not only to the Palestinians as Amalekites but also to those who are not Jewish enough in their eyes.

"thankfully for now only a fanatical minority" - christ, Ilan Pappe wrote this in 2017 and we've already seen Netanyahu call the Palestinians 'Amalek'

So we're basically headed towards ww3 I guess. woowee

Surprisingly sharp commentary on the state of modern media.

Israeli tanks ‘pushing towards’ Gaza city’s downtown area

Safwat Kahlout reporting from central Gaza

Israel is … pushing tanks towards the downtown, specifically towards the al-Shifa hospital which is located in the heart of Gaza city.

From the southern part of Gaza city, the Israeli tanks already stationed at Salahuldin main road, and they are advancing or pushing towards the coastal road known as Rashid street – so, they are controlling the two main roads that link Gaza city with the rest of the Gaza strip.

We learned from witnesses who managed to flee or to escape from Gaza city towards the south, that thousands of people from the north of Gaza city itself now are heading towards al-Shifa hospital, seeking shelter.

Heavy exchange of fire is taking place between fighting groups and the Israeli tanks that are trying to push forward inside the downtown.

I'd call this the full attack order.

"Southern command units, this is the commander.

We are going on the offensive against Hamas and the terrorist organizations in the Gaza strip.

Our only goal: victory

No matter how long the fight takes and no matter how hard it will be, there is no other result than victory.

We will fight professionally, powerfully and according to the principles of the defense forces that we were brought up on and in their forefront; being determined to achieve the mission, and constant striving for victory.

We will fight in the alleys, the tunnels and wherever we need to. And we will strike this brutal enemy that we are facing.

My brothers in arms; the residents of Be'eri, Sderot, Nir Oz, Kfar Aza, the towns of the west of Negev, and with them all the people of Israel, are watching us now.

Like me, they trust you and believe in you. You are the victory generation.

This is the commander, move to achieve your missions, strike the enemy. The end."

what's up with Al Jazeera and hating China? this piece is so weird. some Chinese people are being weirdos on social media? ok

Reaction to Nasrallah speech split in Lebanon

There were people who were anticipating Nasrallah’s speech with high expectations that Nasrallah was going to go for all out war. These people are upset. They think Nasrallah’ speech was mainly about the rhetoric and there was no real substance in it. This is one team.

There’s another team which is Nasrallah’s supporter base. They are going to accept Nasrallah, whatever he says.

And there’s a third team, which is the team that is concerned about the war. It doesn’t want to see Lebanon getting into this war. Some of them are kind of relieved. They think that Nasrallah’s speech today distanced Lebanon, in a way, from the war, despite the fact he didn’t rule out that Lebanon actually is already in the middle of this war.

How much more menacing military stuff is Biden going put over there?

US nuclear-powered submarine arrives in Middle East, US military says

A nuclear-powered Ohio-class submarine has arrived in the Middle East, US Central Command has said.

On Saturday, the US had said that a strike group including the flagship aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower as well as a guided missile cruiser and guided missile destroyers had also arrived in the region “as part of the increase in regional posture”.

The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier arrived in the region last month.

Washington has said the presence of the aircraft carriers in the region is meant to deter any other actors from escalating the conflict.

Members of Biden administration ‘not comfortable’ with US president’s Israel policy

There’s enormous pressure [on Biden to rein in Israel] and it’s both visible and … invisible, in terms of it’s happening within the government where the public can’t see it.

Of course, we’re all seeing the public protests that are happening on a global scale, whether it is the walkouts, the staged demonstrations, the open letters that are being publicised in newspapers.

But what we are also hearing and [what] is being reported here in the United States is that there are members of the Biden administration that are not comfortable with the president’s Israel policy and are becoming increasingly vocal.

In fact, we know that the State Department is now offering listening sessions for some members of the [department] that feel that their personal beliefs do not align with the president’s policy and what is happening on the ground in Gaza.

And what we’re being told is that the president is not listening to the experts, but instead is aligning himself with a very tightly knit circle of advisers, who are essentially giving him advice on how to proceed.

CW this is basically a stephen crowder bit and as terrible as you can imagine.

But they are totally down with queer people in Israel! I hear they paint rainbow flags on cluster bombs.

Would you want your child growing up in a world where Israel didn't exist? I thought so. Think a little before you type out "death to isn'treal" and "death to america" on this website.

New US House Speaker says ‘Israel doesn’t need a ceasefire’

Republican lawmakers under new House Speaker Mike Johnson have introduced a bill that separates US aid for Israel from assistance for Ukraine. Previously, President Joe Biden’s proposal had combined the funds for a total request of $105bn.

Speaking at Capitol Hill, Johnson said Republicans have been “leading the charge to support our cherished friend”, referring to Israel.

“I’ve heard Democrats suggest there needs to be a ceasefire. Let us be clear,” he added. “There was a ceasefire, it was before October 7, and Hamas broke it and Israeli suffered unspeakable acts of evil,” added Johnson.

“Israel doesn’t need a ceasefire, needs its allies to cease with the politics and deliver support now, And that’s what we’re doing.”

oh cool, thanks dude

Israeli Defense Minister: We are not interested in an additional war, but we are ready on the northern border

It seems like every other month or so the US proposes and alternative to BRI that will downfall China. There was Blue Dot, the Middle Eastern Corrider that probably isn't happening because of the war in Gaza, and now a railway in Central Africa. Westerners claim BRI is a huge failure when the conference for its shows otherwise. Portugal and Italy being told to leave by the US doesn't really indicate that it's a failure either, as hard as that is for Redditors to hear. Our president-elect even wants in on BRI projects while still trying to stay on good terms with Taiwan.

There's obviously a lot of work to be done in countering the US empire, but its downfall has been going on for a while. It's just a very slow one that will probably go the way of the British Empire, which was initially the worlds largest creditor before becoming the worlds largest debtor after WW1. The days of century-long downfalls like the Roman Empire don't really happen with the more modern ones.

As of now the groundwork is being laid out. The global south has options and it has a bigger impact than people realize.
